tcp: extend the use of the th_flags accessor function

Formally, there are 12 bits for TCP header flags.
Use the accessor functions in more (kernel) places.

tap: add support for virtio-net offloads

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.

sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

Remove verbose messages when link goes up/down.

A similar message is printed elsewhere as a result of
if_link_state_change().

c162511
Explicity compare pointer to NULL

c162510
Allocate the mac filter table at attach time.

c162509
Add real BSD licenses to the header files copied from Linux.

The chases upstream changes made in Linux awhile ago.

c162508
Only notify if we actually dequeued something.

c162507
Change a couple of if () { KASSERT(...) } to just KASSERTs.

In non-debug kernels, the if() { } probably get optomized
away, but I guess this is clearer.

c162506
Remove VIRTIO_BLK_F_TOPOLOGY fields in the config.

TOPOLOGY has since been removed from the spec, and the FreeBSD
didn't really do anything with the fields anyways.

c162505
Move vtblk_enqueue_request() outside the locks when getting the ident.

c162504
Remove soon to be uneeded trylock during dump [1].
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-November/029226.html

c162503
Remove emtpy line

c162502
Drop frame if cannot allocate a vtnet_tx_header.

If we don't, we set OACTIVE, but if there are no
other frames in flight, vtnet_txeof() will never
be called to unset OACTIVE. The interface would
have to be down/up'ed in order to become usable.

We could be cuter here and only do this if the
virtqueue is emtpy, but its probably not worth
the complication.

c162501
Start mbuf replacement loop at 1 for clarity
